Russian President Vladimir Putin has arrived in Beijing to meet with his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping, on a trip aimed at showing the “no limits” partnership between China and Russia.

Putin flew into the Beijing Capital International Airport on Tuesday morning.

He is among over 100 representatives from different countries attending an event to mark the 10-year anniversary of President Xi’s initiative to grow China’s overseas interests through various projects.

This latest trip comes just days after Putin’s visit to Kyrgyzstan, a Central Asian nation with strong ties to Moscow.
